This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is
excessive dust or humidity.
Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper
ventilation.
The battery typically lasts for three to five years. Environmental factors impact
battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality AC power, and frequent
short duration discharges will shorten battery life.
Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors
or extension cords.

PowerChute™ Personal Edition Software
Overview
Use PowerChute Personal Edition software to configure the UPS settings.
Protect your computer and other equipment during a power outage. During a power
outage, PowerChute will save any open files on your computer and safely shut it
down. When power is restored, it will restart the computer.
Configure the UPS to use features such as power-saving outlets, shutdown
configuration, and alarms.
Monitor the UPS for power usage and power events.
Note: PowerChute is only compatible with a Windows operating system. If you are
using a Mac OSX, use the native shutdown feature to protect your system. See the
documentation provided with your computer.
Installation
Use a USB cable to connect the Data port on the rear panel of the UPS to the USB port
on your computer.
If the Back-UPS came with a PowerChute CD, insert the CD into your computer and
follow the on-screen instructions
If the Back-UPS did not come with a PowerChute CD, go to www.apc.com and
download the software free of charge.
Turn On the Back-UPS
Press the PO W ER ON button located on the top of the Back-UPS. The Power On/
Replace Battery LED will illuminate and a single short beep will be audible to
indicate that the Back-UPS is providing protection for connected equipment.
The Back-UPS battery charges fully during the first 16 hours while connected to AC
power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the Back-UPS is switched on or off
and is connected to AC power. Do not expect full battery run capability during the
initial charge time.
If the red Building Wiring Fault LED located on the side of the Back-UPS
illuminates, do not operate the Back-UPS. Have a qualified electrician correct the
building wiring fault.
Warranty
The standard warranty is three (3) years from the date of purchase. Schneider Electric
IT (SEIT) standard procedure is to replace the original unit with a factory
reconditioned unit. Customers who must have the original unit back due to the
assignment of asset tags and set depreciation schedules must declare such a need at
first contact with an Schneider Electric IT (SEIT) Technical Support representative.
SEIT will ship the replacement unit once the defective unit has been received by the
repair department, or cross ship upon the receipt of a valid credit card number. The

The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery
backup power to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the Back-UPS
or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level it is necessary to
adjust the transfer voltage.
1. Connect the Back-UPS to a wall outlet. The Back-UPS will be in Standby mode, no
indicators will be illuminated.
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds. The OnLine LED will
illuminate alternately green-amber-red, to indicate that the Back-UPS is in
Program mode.
3. The Power On/Replace Battery LED will flash either green, amber, or red to
indicate the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the
transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
4. To select LOW sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes
green.
5. To select MEDIUM sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED
flashes red.
6. To select HIGH sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes
amber.
7. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish.
Program mode is no longer active.
